Yeah I see your problem. Gotta make a run real quick. Gonna take me about 20 minutes. If no one has helped you by then, I would be glad too..... brb
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superchilpil:
This made me lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
Why LOL? Had to take the misses to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
Are you installing it through Rom manager or flashing it through Clockworkmod recovery?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] uthinkisay:
In rom manager there is options to clear data/cache and another that says cache clear them both flash rom and set it up and you should be good.

Oh yeah and go into advanced and clear dalvik cache
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
Exactly.... a big wig on xda (cant remember his name) told me it was always better to do everything through Clockworkmod so in my opinion, I would:

1. Use Rom Manager to "reboot into recovery"

2. Make a backup

3. wipe data/factor reset

4. wipe cache partition

5. Go to "advanced"

6. Wipe dalvik cache

7. flash ROM (install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, flash the rom zip

8. Reboot
[Thunderbolt Android Development] uthinkisay:
oops my bad meant clock work not rom manager.

Also make sure you make a back up b4 you wipe and flash
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
YES!!!!! Cant believe I forgot the most important step lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Maverick_TN:
I'm having problems with the Market. A few of my purchased apps aren't showing up and when I try to man ually select one via firefox, it says my device isn't supported. I purchased the app and installed it before flashing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
This was fixed last night. Here is what chingy posted:

"Do this to fix the market:

1. Go into root explorer

2. Open up build.prop in text editor

3.Find this line "ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/htc_mecha/mecha/mecha:2.2.1/FRG83D/338893:user/release-keys" and make sure the colored number matches what is in your build.prop

4. Reboot your phone.

5. Let me know if this works."
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
1. Go into root explorer

2. Open up build.prop in text editor

3.Find this line "ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/htc_mecha/mecha/mecha:2.2.1/FRG83D/338893:user/release-keys" and make sure the colored number matches what is in your build.prop

4. Reboot your phone.

Instructions from chingy51o. Fix my problem.

Also if you use titanium backup, open it, hit menu, hit more, and run Market doctor. It linked all my missing app in the market to the apps on my phone so I didnt have to re-install.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mad5427:
Droid_ALM2ND,

Your list instructions here are perfect. This is exactly what I needed to do and I think this is how I will proceed on every rom I try from here on out. This is great.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
Thanks. Im coming from the Droid X and we didnt have to wipe dalvik and cache partition so a lot of people in this thread helped me out. Glad we can keep the knowledge spreading!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
What exactly is dalvik? I know we have to wipe it, but I have no idea what it does!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
"dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows."

Quote from andrizoid

I wasnt sure either to tell you the truth. I know now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Maverick_TN:
It worked great, thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Idk if anyone else has had this problem, but I'm trying to download the mod to get rid of the location icon in the status bar with no lock. The link sends me to mediafire and then I click the file and it downloads a file called .txt and its not a zip or anything that shows up to flash with clockwork. Any ideas?

I know this is way off topic but I had to share. This is my new tattoo

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ScottIsMyName:
I had this problem on my phone as well...just give the file a .zip extension and it works fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Superthrust:
Did you read the .txt? Is it a script maybe that has ADB commands?

Im still pondering whether i should flash a new rom or what...I just want my battery drain to go aways.. :(

Im used to having everything on full with my g2 and still having battery going through the day. :(

@chingy51o - I have tried all of the available ROMs (available so far anyway), and I keep coming back to this one! By far the most stable and reliable. Thanks chingy51o! :D Btw, the long-press camera mod is PERFECT!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Not to stray off topic but Congratulations on Re-Engineered being featured on Android Central! Loved it on my Dinc. Any plans on porting it to the TBolt or do you have more sinister plans(laughs maniacally) ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Did it. Worked like a charm. Thank you
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rashly:
Ok, I fixed it (the -8 error).

I extracted the zip file of The Perfect Storm and found these files in it:

Maps.apk

com.google.android.maps.jar

com.google.android.maps.odex

com.google.android.maps.xml

What I did was replace these files on my phone with the files from the zip using RootExplorer. I put them into their corresponding directories, overwriting what was already there:

Maps.apk in /system/app/

com.google.android.maps.jar in /system/framework/

com.google.android.maps.odex in /system/framework/

com.google.android.maps.xml in /system/etc/permissions/

I then restarted the phone.

I went into Astro and installed the Maps.apk from /system/app. It installed perfectly and I now have my Maps and Navigation.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fishtank:
Thanks for great ROM..... Only down side is my battery

[Thunderbolt Android Development] zer071:
I dunno if this is rom related or not, but when i got into wifi-settings-advanced and go into wifi sleep mode I change it from never to 15 mins, and if i go back into that setting its back on never. Just thought it save some battery if I had it on sleep mode.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
App backup before flash??

I am running rooted stock but would like to try out this rom. I was going to wait for version 1.1 but who know when that will be out. I hate the idea of trying out roms and then having to reload all apps and go through app settings etc. I'm new to android so my question is this, can I backup all apps and app data with titanium and the flash and then just do a restore of the apps and app data?

That would make things a lot easier and I would go ahead and flash this today and give it a try.

whats up with the bad battery life with this device? I even have the extended battery and the battery life dont last me all day and all i do is send some texts, emails and some calls.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ajftl:
Are u in a good or bad 4g area? That is what is killing mine. I don't get good reception at home so phone lookin for signal all day. As soon I leave home battery last me all day.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ajftl:
Btw. Anyway to install Cm mms here? Can't get use to htc messenger... Get laggy sometimes.. can't handle my all day texting lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
I have used the extended battery and it lasted me two full days. The standard lasts me one day. These are complex phones and I've usually found that when the battery is being used up quickly that there is something running in the background that is eating them alive.

In any case, why ask here? This is the thread for the Perfect Storm ROM, there are plenty of battery issue threads here and at Androidcentral that have lots of tips on working with the battery issue.

R
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idle0095:
i ask here because this is a custom rom and they normaly do good on battery. I have nothing running in the back round. advance task killer shows nothing running. I have nothing syncing either. My battery is horrible.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azturbomini:
My battery has been great.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idle0095:
your lucky. mine sucks. LOL. Cant wait for v1.1 for this rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chingy51o:
you can try installing it but im not sure if it will work or not. and you could always use handcent if the stock mms isnt working for you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idle0095:
Hey Chingy any eta on the new version? Need any Beta Testers??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Do you have location services on? If its constantly tracking your location that can drain battery, I usually just set my weather to the main city I live around and turn all location service off. Helps my battery life.

Also, I'd uninstall the task manager, they really do more harm than good and thats probably killing battery too because it will just keep scanning and when you kill task they'll be right back up and running in a matter of 30 seconds.

Other good tips are the usual lowering the screen brightness and shorter screen timeout.

Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idle0095:
i have the gps and verizon location services on. here is the thing. my droid x had a custom rom on it. screen at 100%. advance task killer. GPS on as well. Use to last all day from 5am to 9pm when i plugged it in. I get this thuinderbolt and i cant even use the thing with out plugging it in on the way to work, during lunch and on the way home. so this is why i dont agree with changeing all these settings. why should i lower the brightness and shut off location and what not when it did awesome on the droid x? i dont get it. these big companys need to focus on battery life over the look. blackberry has the best battery by far.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
I would definitely agree that it'd be nice to have better battery life, but as of now most smartphones don't, they just have too much goin on. If you X made it through the day with everything turned all the way up that impressive but by no means is it the norm. I'm getting, no problem, 13 or 14 hours with this ROM and things turned off that aren't even useful anyways. Its a small price to pay for the power this thing packs and I'm loving this phone.

Hope yours gets better for ya.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azbryan3:
This is the most amazing ROM. Thanks a million for all this!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idle0095:
yah i hope mine gets better. i do love the phone. i had a blackberry for 6 yrs and that by far was the best battery. 40 to 50 emails a day with 100 texts and 30 phone calls. many websites and pandora running 3 hrs a day. i never dropped under 40% battery when i went to charge it at 9pm. i love bb but they are now old school.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] incredibler:
Used this rom since the day it came out. No issues. battery is fine. Lasts all day. I don't expect much more until devs get more time with the devices and now the source code just came out today. Give it some time. I absolutely support chingy's roms. Had them on the inc and they were great.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
the lte radio and verizon's towers are still not properly optimized. this will continue for some time. thats the truth. the same issue will happen on the bionic too. while we wait for better radios we will benefit from better kernels (undervolted, smartass etc) and those will slowly increase battery life for us. motorola products wont benefit from that thanks to locked bootloaders so you are still better off with an htc product.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
Do you use battery saving tip because I'm getting great battery life on the stock battery. Stuff like screen brightness, background data, battery saver mode, and more. A lot of people complain about the battery life but I'm just not having that issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
Me too! My battery on this Rom is great.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a1exus:
can you define what's great? how much battery life do you get now vs before upgrading? i'm thinking to upgrade but i dont really know what i'm doing so kind of afraid ... i still didn't even root it as seems complicated... z4root was very easy :) i keep wondering if someone will do apk like that for thunderbolt ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Agreed. If chingy ports Re-Engineered or builds a similar rom from scratch for the Thunderbolt I will never use another Rom again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid_ALM2ND:
My battery last all day. 9 hours heavy use. I use battery saving tips though. Some people just run they're phone on full force, everything on full blast. Makes no sense to me.

There's a video on youtube giving you every root step for the Tbolt. I was afraid to but when I started but it got easier. I use Unrevoked3 one click for my Incredible and z4root for my Droid X so this was new to me too. Just read as much info as you can then go for it!!!!!!!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chingy51o:
already in the works..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zomb!e:
Excellent news!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
Flashd Storm today and I like the ROM. I have noticed that on my first charge on this rom my battery is getting sucked dry. I suspect that after flashing a new rom the battery has to get itself calibrated again so I'm going to see how it goes over the next couple of days.

Nice work on this rom.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
You should be fine after it runs for a bit. Its really pretty good battery wise and is silky smooth.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aostl:
Where do I find the number it should match?

the build.prop file... its in /system ... you need root explorer and to mount the system as R/W to edit the file
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aostl:
Ya I found the build. Prop file. Which number in there? The 338893 number? Mine says something different.

My GPS has been acting sporadic with this rom as well. Is this something the OP could look into? I had to do a restore yesterday to get it working. In my end, i really want to use my GPS ALOT. I may have to resort to another rom if i cant fix the gps. :( I really like this one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] probotic:
having same problem on VirusRom's latest.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
Just thought I would share the setup I am running on this rom - maybe somebody else will find them useful too:

1. Storm 1.0 of course

2. Adrynalyne 1.9 kernel (no overclocking, on demand - was on smartass till 1.8)

3. Cocunt-Darkstar Font (really really beautiful)

4. Matted Blues skin (again prettier than stock skin)

5. Stock HTC clock widget (needed it since matted blues did not like storm's dark clock)

6. Modded Hulu flash apk

7. Statusbar tweak to remove gps icon etc

8. Rosie settings tweak to allow right launcher button to be used for browser

9. Qik for Tmobile apk

10. Fring2459 apk

11. HTC sense.com fix

12. Boot sound removal apk

13. vzw auth client (for HTC IM app/widget)

14. Adrynalyne's rom tweaks

15. Imoseyon's tweaks

16. Car panel restored

17. marketfix was not needed for me

18. HTC sense live wallpaper - IMHO its the prettiest of them all

19. Phone on 3g default -using phone info app - saves battery - switch 4g on when needed like showing off/testing/browsing big sites and its a pain but 3g to 4g battery drain is too massive right now.

same thing with this one, I get errors saying Amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5. Basically something wrong with the type of scripting in the update file won't work with our clockwork.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
thats because it requires cwr 2.5 series, we are on 3+. what i did was i unzipped the zip file, extracted the ttf files, placed them in the fonts directory on the sd card and then used type fresh (requires andexplorer) from the market to flash the font. it will be stuck at "rebooting..." for some time. wait 2-3 minutes and it does not reboot then do a battery pull - the font will have flashed. type fresh just is unable to force a reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
i can do some of these once i get home (kind of awkward trying to do so from the office). however, some of these need to be flashed separately for framework and dependency reasons.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
I've been running PS 1.0 for the last couple of days with no issues. Today I installed Ady's 1.9 kernel to see if I can improve battery life. It was barely ok before and hoping that this improves it. So far, PS and Ady's kernel are working very well together, very fast and very smooth, now I have to wait and see if battery life is going to improve.

As an FYI, no gps issues at all, no data issues at all, everything is fine.
